Church Give Speakers $31—Also Receives Money from Public-spirited Citizens in Harlem—Reported to Have Been Given a Good Drubbing by Friends of Real Hero Monday Afternoon. The police are looking for a fake war hero who has been posing as Private Henry Johnson, one of the heroes of the old 15th. Several ministers besides a number of colored and white citizens residing in Manhattan and Brooklyn are also desirous of laying hands in the gentleman in question. For two days—Sunday and Monday this week—a colored man of decidedly hue, more than six feet tall andearing the uniform of a soldier, represented himself to hundreds as Henry Johnson, who, with Needham Roberts, to flight twenty-eight, General some weeks ago. The head of the man afternoon when it is reportable was kicked out of a public place and given a severe beating by those who knew the real Private Henry Johnson. There have been rumors of this would be her arrest, but the police usurpation have been unable to prove of him. It is thought that he is being the wound, receive "S" and that when he emerges from retirement he will he himself to other parts with marked celerity. Sunday morning this would-be war hero held spell-bound large groups of men and women in Harlem with a glowing recital of deeds of valor in the brothels that made him the envy of young and old. Furthermore, many patriotic citizens were so deep in their hearts that they into their pockets and gave the "hero bold" bids of various denominations, advising him to have a good time on his furlough. Pays Friendly Visit to Brooklyn. Sunday afternoon "Private Henry Johnson" visited Brooklyn and told the residents he had arrived from France Saturday evening. He was taken to the Cifton Branch of the Y. M. C. A. avenue, near Fulton street, near the Cifton Branch. According to Secretary Meroney, "Private Johnson" did not make a speech, but talked causally to members of the association who crowded around him. "The hero" was most descriptive and for an hour made his hearers imagine they were in the trenches fighting the men. "The man was from forty to forty-eight years old and very tall." Secretary Meroney stated to an Ace representative, "He came into the Y. M. C., acknowledging, he was Henry Johnson of the heroes of the 369th, and that he had been given the key through the trench." Meroney was on a leave and had gone to visit his parents in Trenton. "When asked where were the medals awarded him by the French, the man implied that they had been sent on to Washington. No money was secured at M. C. A by the visitor, who imprinted that he had had some military training." "Private Johnson" was next heard of daytime evenne at Bridge Street A. M. C. Church. Before services he was introduced to the Rev. W. Spencer carpenter, pastor, by a member of the carpenter who had been thrilled by the graphic narrative of trench doctrine. Carpenter saw service in the Spanish-American war something about soldiering himself. He had been a commissioned officer. Although he had doubts as to the identity of the man he could not very well mention his veracity at the time. "Private Henry Johnson" spoke to a college傍晚 Sunday evening and elec- tion members of Bridge Street A. M. C. Church when he elec- tioned how he had the Germans fight with his balo knife. Put Money In His Hat. After the "hero" had finished his talk members insisted in giving him a token and over $31 was poured into Mr. Sloan's hat. Members of the concessionary now recall that the soldier reckoned for a gift with alacrity. Today morning found "Private John Tallowtalk" taking token in him. He was the synonym of all (but the police) until he became a target for infiltrated "Doubting Causes." Through "Private Henry Johnson" at the Carlton Branch of the U.K.A. that he was going to Washington. ington to get his medal for, meritorious conduct, he told the members of the Bridge Street, A. M. E. Church that he was a man of mind and stopping place, as he did not want to lose. Monday afternoon while talking about his bravery in France, the daily papers were publishing a despatch from overseas seating that Private Henry John-Neil, who had been awarded war crosses by the French, and were convalescent. AT BELLEVUE HOSPITAL Dr. Ubert Vincent, who was graduated this year from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, has been appointed an interne at Bellevue Hospital. He was assigned to his room and assumed his duties Monday. This is the first time in the history of New York that a Negro has been appointed an interne at any of the local hospitals, although repeated efforts have been made to secure recognition for young colored doctors. Several months ago at a conference of colored citizens, at which the Urban League and other organizations were represented, hospital officials promised to appoint colored physicians as internes, provided the applicants met all requirements. Dr. Vincent was not compelled to take the usual examination as he finished the University of Pennsylvania with high honors. He is a native of North Carolina.

The conduct of Colonel Tripp, who was in charge of the troops sent to quell the disturbances, has been called to the attention of Secretary Bake, with the suggestion of a court-martial. Representative Johnson said: "The conduct of the soldiers who were sent to East St. Louis to protect life in the Illinois militia that served under Colonel Tripp, the committee reported, may allow soldiers to commit offenses of the Peace, and minor officials were condemned for alleged failure to enforce the law, and charges were made that the police had connections with gobblers.

C.—Decision to retain operating control of the Pullman Company was announced July 3 by the Railroad Administration in an order allowing wage increases for sleeping car conductors, porters, and maids on the same basis as the advances recently given to railroad employees. The operating department of the Pullman Company was taken over with the railroads, but there had been some question as to whether it would be retained. In order says that the peculiar character of the employment of Pullman car attendants makes it impracticable to apply a basic eight-hour day to the service, but wage increases are given to them dating back to January 1 on the same scale as fixed in the general wage order. It was estimated at the Railroad Administration that the increased pay would amount to approximately $2,750 a year and would affect 19,000 employees. No control of the construction department of the Pullman Company is implied by the control of the operation of the cars.

(Special to The New York Times) Washington, D.C.—The list of colored speakers to present the war aims of the Government to colored Americans has been increased from sixty to one hundred. The additional list of speakers follows: The argument set forth by the favor of heading the B. M. C. is that under the rules and re- solution of the order the B. M. C. is the authority and in it alone is had power to legislate for all brace- ing the order; that the Sub-County Mansion, Manor, C. and, therefore, has no power to change the original state set by highest body. Among those who threaten to the regular session of the B. M. C. New York this year despite the decision of the Sub-Committee of Managers to postpone the meeting until M. H. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Harry H. H. John W. Davison, Alfred B. Jones, u. Joseph H. Watson. Following are their consentions: 1. on January 1918, attempt to change the meeting of the B. M. C. from the second Monday in September 1918, to the second Monday in September 1920, to visit for the various purposes of the General Laws of the Order. 2. The power to fix the time and place of meeting of the B. M. C. is in effect under the General Law, and no other branch or individual member of the order can change the time and place of meeting of the B. M. C. 3. The act of the Sub-Committee has been approved of the General Laws of the Order and the Odd Follow government and strikes at the very life of the order. 4. If the 13th B. M. C. does not meet at the time which the 18th B. M. C. can never legally meet any more, for the reason that the power lodged in the B. M. C. to fix its own meeting and to select the legislative authority; it is inherent and if the order necessitates to carry out its constitutional authority, its authority will cease and there will be no authority to convene a B. M. C. 5. If the Sub-Committee of Management is permitted to infringe upon the rights and authority of the other branches of the order, to change the mandates of its creator, to change the term of its own year to another thereby lengthening its own term of office without the consent of the people, it may continue to do so from year to year and the people may never have the right to change the M. C. to legislate or select officers for themselves. 6. If the Sub-Committee, the executive branch of the order, sets the precedent of postponing the meeting by 10 days, will prevent the executive committee of the District Grand Ledges from postponing the District Grand Ledges sessions from year to year, in office and creating new opportunities for graft and greed? 7. Following this German propaganda to the last analysis, taking the precedent of producing copies as a precedent, what would prevent the officers of the subordinate lodges of the order from perpetually postponing meetings from time to time, notions and salutations to the utter destruction of the will of the lodges which pay the taxes and bear the burdens of the institution? 8. The Odd Followers Journal, in its last issue, reminds that "The wisdom of the Sub-Committee of Management in postponing the 1918 meeting has become more and more patent as the days have gone since the order was promulgated. "More men have been drafted for military service and more yet will be drafted; prices of transportation and commodities continue to rise; conservation of money, food and man power are more urgent than in January when the board decided on the postponement. In fact, all the reasons as then set forth have become more cogent than they appeared then. Withdrawing done to the end of conservation helps to the end of postponement of the B. M. C. meeting has its effect for good. The Sub-Committee of Management has rendered the country a service and has done its plain duty to the welfare of the order."

It is worthy of note that it was the first time since the fall of the Republic canine regime in 1876, that colored men were requested to participate in any public affair without initiative on their part. It was not generally known that colored people would be asked to take part, and far that reason there were fewer of them there than would have been had the fact been generally known. Colored people as a rule attended their own meetings. At the Lafayette Square meeting the loyalty of the nations represented was signified by the placing of their flags around the U. S. flag.

THE WAR. :+ The manifold changes in the poli- ‘cigs of nations and the destinies of peoples growing out of the war “iéontinue to multiply from day to ' day. Na. people is too-great and ;Mone too small to escape the widen- “ing circle of the war’s convulsions. 3 For instance, the London dis- (patches recently told how the British Parliament is favorably considering the granting of iimited home rule for India. The recom- mendations which are likely to be- come effective, embrace the com- pletion of local self-government, a _Vice-regal legislature of two cham- bers, an Indian Privy Council and a council of princes. Tn this country we find the Sec- tztary of the Interior outlining a - plan to give every American soldier whorreturns from France the choice 6f a return to his prior occupation ‘or the ownership of a farm with! forty years time to finance the oper- ‘ation of it. Fifteen million acres of land owned by the government rol | Grould suffice for the ground re- quired and the appropriation of two million dollars would enable the project to be carried out, according to the Secretary's ideas. ‘When such radical propositions as the foregoing are proposed by representatives of two of the great- ‘est and most conservative nations involved in the struggle, it is not unlikely that among the other re- constructive measures of the peace era will be the accordance of com- plete ‘and even-handed justice to thé Negro. ‘The manifest duty before the race 3s to so prepare for this era of justice and reconstruction, as to be fully equipped to take advan- tage of the opportunities then pre- ‘sented. Every means of education and advancement should be seized and utilized to the utmost. The opportunities to acquire trades and businesses should be grasped as they present themselves. Then the Negro must quality himself for the higher duties and responsibilities of citizenship. Rights and priv- ileges carry with them correspond- ing obligations, and unless the race is prepared to fulfill all the duties! incumbent upon it, it is useless to insist upon the rights, \ “PULEMAN (WAGE | IN- CREASES. Another industrial movement which directly affects a large num- ber of workers of the Negro race took place last week, when the Railroad Administration decided to retain operating control of the Pullman Company. Wage increases were given the employes, including sleeping car conductors, porters and maids, on the same basis as the advances recently granted other railroad employes. The order stated that the pe- culiar character of the employment of Pullman car attendants made it impracticable to apply a basic eight hour day to the service. But the wage increases were made to date back to January 1 and on the same scale as fixed in the general wage order. It was estimated that the increased pay would amount to two and three-quarter million dollars yearly and would affect nineteen thousand employes. While this measure will appre- ciably benefit the great army of rail- road porters, it cannot be said that the increase will furnish such a living wage as will render them in- dependent of the tips from passen- gers, which have hitherto made up the greater part of their compen- sation. If the traveling public should consider this increase as ab- solving them from the necessity of tipping, the last state of the por- ters will undoubtedly be worse than the former. , It is not likely that such a senti- ment will prevail, however, as de- spite the higher prices of the res- taurants, the waiters still receive their usual gratuities, and personal service will always be recognized as deserving special reward. The pious editor of the San An- tonio Inguirer prods the non. churchgoers among his readers by saying: “If the Germans ever bomb American colored churches, there are a lot of us who will be perfectly safe.” Whether this thought will stimulate church at- tendance in Texas is open to de- bate. We hardly think it will. The <Appreciator-Union is the hyphenated title borne by a Negro weekly published at Texarkana, Tex. It also carries the compre- hensive motto: “The Negro race, the Republican party, the whole peopit.” Despite this motto, it an- nounces that all announcements of a political nature, resolutions, etc. will be charged for at advertising rates. Sentiment evidently is not relied on to meet the high cost of print paper. In these days of the making of new war heroes, it is well to recall some of the old ones. A recent inquiry as to the achievements of Crispus Attucks, Peter Salem and Sergeant William H. Carney iden- tified them as having gone down in history with the Boston Massacre, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the taking of Fort Wagner. The first two belong to the Revolutionary times and the last named to the Civil War. In all the wars of America the Negro has played his part. An alert correspondent of Tne Ace in an Eastern town recently noted the fact that a veteran driver, sixty years of age, had changed from the reins to the steering wheel, when the firm that employed him substituted an auto truck for the horse-drawn vehicle. This fur- ished a refutation of the idea that age is loth to accept change or improvement, and adds another instance to prove the adaptability of the race. May the veteran of the reins prove as skillful asa chauffeur and steer as straight a course without skidding. A diverse taste in Itterature is noticed among the traveling public on the transportation lines of the Greater City For instance, in one of the bridge cars were recently noted as eugaging the attention of individual passengers a popular sys tem of shorthand, “Italian in VIEWS and. REVIEWS THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, The letter sent out by Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee, giving the record of lynchings in the United States for the first six months of the year, and published in last week's Age contained facts that should make the whole country pause and think. We reproduce | Dr. Moton’s letter in order that readers may have it before their eyes: To the Editor of The Age ; T send you the followng relative to lynchings for the first six months of this year. According to the records kept by the Division of Records and Re- | search of the Tuskegee Institute, there have been in this period 35 lynch- J ings, This is 21 more than the number, 14, for the first six months of ) 1917, and 10 more than the number, 25, for the first six months of 1916, Of those lynched, 34 were Negroes and 1 was white. Eight of those '] put to death, all Negroes, were charged with the crime of rape. Of those | put to death three were women, ‘The states in which the lynchings occurred and the number of each | state are as follows: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 1; Georgia, 8; Illinois, 1; Louisiana, 8; Mississippi, 2; North Carolina, 1; South Caro- | lina, 1; Tennessee, 4; Texas, 7. R. R. MOTON, Principal These figures show that 35 persons were lynched in this country between January 1 and June 30; that this is 21 more than the number lynched during the first six months of 1917, and 10 more than the number for the same period in 1916. They also show that of these 35 persons lynched, 34 were Negroes; that of these 34 Negroes, 3. were women, and that in only eight of these cases was there even! a charge of rape. ‘ ‘What is the peculiar psychology under this renewed and intensi- fied qutbreak of mob violence against the Negro? This~question takes on added weight at this particular time, when the nation is stirred by the ideals of humanity and democracy, and is engaged in a tremendous struggle to establish and maintain those ideals; when the Negro himself is doing a noble part in that struggle, not only in his ancient role as a brave soldier, but in bearing his share of the burden as a citizen, by buying Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, by assisting in Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. work and all the other activi- ties that go toward the successful prosecution of the war. Is this fresh outbreak of violence against the Negro really an indirect outcome of the war itself? Is it that war sets loose certain emotions which in baser hearts result in lynchings? Or is it that the very fact that the Negro is doing his part as a loyal American citizens produce a reaction against him in the minds of those who are determined that he shall neither enjoy the rights of American citi- zenship as an equal nor perform the duties of American citizenship —as an equal? Whatever the psychology may be, we are confronted by the fact that the number of lynchings for the first six months of this year is greater than for the same period last year; and not by one or two or a half-dozen, but by twenty-one” This fact from every point of view is appalling. Several months ago, writing in this column, we said that the people who commit lynchings and practice other aggravated forms of hatred and prejudice against the Negro are guilty of nothing less than a certain degree of treason. We made this statement at the time of the ITog Island incident. when somebody issued an order stopping the white and colored workefiMrom eating their noon meal together in the big mess-hall, regardless of the fact that such an order by stirring up resentment and bad feeling would reduce the efficiency of the plant for turning out ships. : We are at present confronted by the nurse question. The Red Cross is calling for 25,000 nurses, saying that they must be secured if our soldiers are to receive proper attention. It seems improbable that so large a number of nurses can immediately be had: yet the colored trained nurses of New York and of other cities have been constantly offering their services for a year, and as constantly re- fused They are heing refused on the ground that there is no place to put them; which seems to mean that there are white nurses who object to heing housed with or working side by side with colored nurses. Does any one mean to say that it will not be a form of trea- son to allow any of our soldiers at the front to suffer for lack of nurses, because of such a prejudice as that? In that same article of several months ago we pointed out that it was sheer nonsense to talk about German propaganda having any effect on the loyal fighting ardor of the colored man; that the only} thing that could possibly have any dampening effect would be anti- Negro propaganda. And we asked that the Department of Justice also pay some attention to anti-Negro propaganda We are glad to sec that this view of anti-Negro propaganda J; being treasonable is now being taken by influential white publications |, and even by white Southern organizations. The Outlook has re- | cently had two strong editorials on lynching. In one of them it said: Among the troops that are going to the other side are Americans of | Negro blood That American Negroes make fine soldiers no one can |} doubt who has read the testimony of such an officer, for example. as Gen | cral Bell, quoted in Lieutenant's McKane's article on “The Buffaloes” in |.

Obeah as practiced in the West Tn- dies was described as a heathen rite peculiar to Africa. but in the case referred to the offender was a native of India and his object the extortion of money. to do that thin to allow Negroes at home,to'bé murdered:by moba?. ~ * Perhaps, still more significant is the following resolution adoptec by the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Correction at Memphi: in May: ' a Whereas, the excitement connected with this stupendous war ap- pears to have undermined the self-control of some of the American people to such an extent that lynchings seem to be occurring with increasing frequency; and Whereas, such occurrences are incompatible with the principles of justice and democracy, for which we are fighting; and "Whereas, the lynching of men of one blood or race by those of an- other is aot at this time an ordinary act of lawlessness which may be left to the local authorities, but strikes at the very root of our National solidarity and efficiency by raising issues of race and of blood among our own people, and will inevitably increase the length of the war and ‘the cost in dead and wounded we will have to pay for victory, and thus give aid and comfort to the enemy; and - Whereas, we do not believe those guilty of this lawlessness realize the treasonable effect of their acts; Now, therefore, the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Correc- tion, in Convention assembled, does hereby respectfully petition the President of the United States to issue a proclamation to the American people on the subject; and ‘Whereas, such acts do in fact amount to crimes against the Nation, we do further petition Congress to pass an Act so declaring and giving Federal Grand Juries and Courts the right to indict and try those charged therewith. ss aa Then there was the telegram sent to Governor Rye of Tennessee by Bolton Smith, Secretary of the Tennessee Law and Order League, an organization of white citizens of that state. From that telegram we quote the following sentences: ‘The lynching of Berry Noyes at Lexington, Tennessee, yesterday can but sow disunion among our people, undermine the morale of our Negro troops, and lessen the effectiveness of our propaganda among the colored people for food production and conservation. It will therefore’ tend to prolong the war and increase the price in dead and wounded we will have to pay for victory. I have been visiting the camp here and have wit- nessed the self-sacrifice of our splendid young men who are preparing to risk all for us. It is strange our own people will not help them by exer- cising the self-control necessary to give the Negro charged with crime such a trial as our own laws provide. The Government of the United States is controlled by Southern men. It has called the Negro to the de- fense of the colors, and the American people will demand that the race thus honored shall be granted the justice of a fair trial when accused of crime. All of these utterances which were called to the attention of the public by the Outlook, are of the same tenor, and point to the fact hat lynching is no longer a matter of race‘or section, but a great national disgrace and danger; a danger which has grown so threat- :ning that it should be taken in hand by no less power than the Fed- ral Government. A bill has been introduced in Congress to this: sffect, and it should become a law. | The Negro is doing his part to win this war, and he is doing it, cheerfully; more than that he is doing it enthusiastically, he is sromptly stepping forward to meet every opportunity that is given lim to help win it. He is fighting, more intently to win this war han some people could imagine, because he is fighting to win it both broad and at home. : What, then, is the plain duty of the nation? It is to give him very legitimate incentive to put every ounce of strength of his body .nd soul into the fight.

The despatch describes the message as being a very lengthy document, but only two short paragraphs of it were printed ere are the two paragraphs: During the American Revolution the champions of your liberties appealed to the Irish Parhament against British aggression. To-day it 15 our turn to appeal to America. To-day, as in the days of George Wash- ington, nearly half of the American forces have been furnished from the descendants of our banished race. Yet while self-determination is refused we are required by law to btced to “make the world safe for democracy” in every country except our own : We have all along considered that we had a fair knowledge of common history, but the first of the two paragraphs above contains a statement which is entirely unfamiliar to us. We have not had the time to verify this statement, but we take it for granted that it is true. What we are curious to know is whether this is a matter of common history concerning which we were entirely ignorant, or if it is some- thing we once knew and had forgotten. We should also like to know if it is something that the well read readers of The Age knew If it is a historical fact, yet one which the well read readers of this column did not know, we shall not feel quite so ashamed of our own ignorance SENATOR TILLMAN. | Senator Tillman is dead Following as closely as we can the injunction of the old Latin proverb, which translated reads, “Speak naught but good of the dead,” this article will of necessity be very brief. Senator Tillman is dead and is buried; however, in truth he has heen dead for nearly ten years. He died away back in January o} 1909, when President Roosevelt made the direct charge that the Sena- tor from South Carolina had been involved in land fraud schemes in Oregon . When these charges were made the whole country sat up and listened for Tillman to belch forth fire and brimstone against the man in the White House, but when he rose on the floor of the Senate to reply, his words were almost pathetic. Up to the time of January, 1909, Tillman was known as “Pitch- fork Ben." Whenever he spoke in the Senate or on the many plat- forms of the country that were open to him, he brandished that more or less formidable weapon, and he generally brandished it against the defenseless Negro It was in those days that Tillman originated the “shotgun policy" He loudly proclaimed everywhere that for every Negro appointed to Federal office in the South the white people of that section would take shotguns and kill a specified number of thousands of the innocent Negro inhabitants thereof But after January, 1909, he put aside his pitchfork, abandoned his “shotgun policy," and became something of a conservative He was a man of great force, and might have used it for preat Rood, but if he did we do not know much about it. Our Christianity goes far enough for us to hope that the Lord forgave him for most of the things he said and did in his long political career, but it docsn't go far enough for us,to de likewise. ee no von the aky ie hem’ Nor bind'nor basat nor tree ts on the ‘The doad of men are here—« sy Roe Seed f canara a te Of Battle volees—and the'nadgtaag"¢ sy onthe Moin cate , esr upEN the rou so eae coat ag aught Wott-neartel Wnetve ‘the day. on ® In hours vat 0, some when we aaa Tho ond: remembrances of tur gi tin Sea DR cer seme ay Weil tow these vatiant de pia ate souls a a o a fo hear enable tea vag crated toed mit bith the ives AIRE BIH We naa WW1.L1491 soon = A BLACK PATRIOT Elizabeth City, N.C.

OPEN ALL THE YEAR Hotel Comfort Corner Second St. & Bay Ave. Ocean City, N. J. THE STAGE-MUSIC-ATHLETICS NEGRO MUSIC OF THE PRESENT. BY R. NATHANIEL DETT.) N page seventy-two of his "American Masters of Painting," Mr. Charles H. Caffin makes the following statement: "So far as could be judged from the showing made by American painters at previous expositions, they were but reflecting the influences of Paris, or of German and English painting." And then he asks this pertinent question, "Was there, in fact, as distinguished from art in America, any American art?" Turning to the realm of music, one takes an analogous situation; for, until very recently, music in America was but the reflection of music in Europe. Many of the works by American composers were even named in a foreign language, which shows how extensive was the disregard for things of native origin. If there was, in fact, any real American music as distinguished from music in America, it had as a foundation the songs of popular minstrels, including those of Stephen Foster, the ditties sung in colored operas, and the faecial "coon sdongs" of the vaudeville stage—music which, while being distinctive enough, was too trivial in intent and effect to constitute anything worthy of the name of "art." As for Negro composers, since it seemed the style to avoid in serious efforts any modes of expression by which one's work might be recognized and consequently condemned as "home-made," they, too, turned to far-away things for inspiration, becoming either second-hand imitators of Europe through their white American brothers, or, if possessing ideals, sacrificing them for mercenary ends in the creation of a form of popular music designed to satisfy a preconceived (and not very high) ideal held by white people of what Negro music should be. It remained for an outsider, a Bohemian—the famous Dvorak—to show America and the world something of what is possible in the larger forms of musical composition by using the Negro and Indian folk tunes, if not as actual themes, at least by allowing the spirit of them to be the acknowledged source of inspiration. So much has been written and said of the "New World Symphony," that more is not necessary here. It is sufficient to recall the fact that the symphony and Dvorak's remarks that "the future music of this country must be founded upon what are called Negro melodies" were innovations of a rather startling nature to Americans—forerunners of a new trend of thought, whose truly prophetic significance the present-day work of American composers themselves, is evidencing. Yet one sometimes hears in Negro concert choruses and in the playing of "rags," jass music, and other dance times by untutored or only partially educated Negro orchestras and pianists, effects which surpass in real characterization any of the results obtained by Dvorak. Beautiful and unusual as the "New World Symphony" is, it yet leaves a great deal to be said through the medium of Negro folk idiom, the true expression of which will undoubtedly best be made when some Negro composer, who is thoroughly alive to and appreciative of the traditions of his race, "rises up to say some glorious thing" in the musical language of his fathers. I do not mean by this that the Negro musician and composer has not been hard at work to elevate and develop his music and thus create a new and indigenous art in this country, for such a statement would be far from true. The foreign scholarship which enabled a few young Negro musicians to go abroad for further study was raised and maintained by a colored woman, who has since given festivals of Negro primitive and developed music in many of our leading cities, to the great edification of both races and of especial encouragement to aspiring black artists. One of the beneficiaries of this scholarship has made arrangements of several of the old spirituals which have gained considerable public favor as new compositions an article from his pen on the music of his race appeared in one of the leading music journals of the country, and recently one of our largest publishing houses issued a composition for the pipe organ on a folk song theme by the same contributor. Another foreign scholarship beneficiary, besides touring as solo violinist, has recently published violin arrangements of a high degree of merit based on Negro spirituals. Again, a Negro musician, the protege of Northern white philanthropy, is now one of the best known of American singers and classic song writers. While his efforts in Negro music are small as compared with his general work, yet one short choral arrangement of an old Negro theme has become one of the most widely used pieces of American religious music. Still another Negro composer has been called the Mourasorgsong of his race, because of his unusual ability faithfully to portray Negro characteristics, especially those which savor of old-fashioned superstitions and quaint humor. In the West two Negro brothers have made collections of folksongs and have used them as elements in cantatas; in the East two other Negro brothers, one of whom is a famous American litterateur, have co-operated in the production of lyric and operatic Negro music which has no equal elsewhere, and the influence of which has been largely instrumental in the rise of a new school of popular music in America. Several other Negro musicians were, until the recent draft of men for the World War, leaders of characteristic orchestras especially devoted to Negro dance music—orchestras whose services were sought by leading actors and play houses in the largest metropolitan cities. Another Negro composer has written two suites for the pianoforte of five numbers each, on ideas incidental to Negro life; these suites have been considerably used in conservatories and music schools. At the memorial service held at Hamilton, Ontario, last year, for the Canadian dead of the Great War, the piece of resistance of the program was an anthem based on a Negro spiritual by this same composer. Another of his folk song anthems has been used by practically all of the leading universities and community choirs of the country, and was one of the features of the Norfolk, Connecticut, music festival last fall. The dedication of one of this composer's piano suites expresses something of his feeling of appreciation for the efforts of those to whom he is very largely indebted for his musical education. Lastly, there has been established at the National Capital a conservancy of music, dedicated to the furtherance of Negro music; it is entirely officered by colored people and a colored woman is its principal. It has as trustees some of the leading white musicians of the country As the scope of this paper is limited to America, the work of Negro composers overseas is not mentioned. Suffice it to say that two English Negro composers have attained a most enviable position among the world's music masters, largely by reason of their activity in the development of their own racial idiom. This glimpse of the work of Negro musicians of the present day in handling their own folk tunes shows that they are at last awakening to the fact that there is a great truth in the words from Holy Writ, "The kingdom of heaven lies within." It also shows that appreciation, often beyond what has been hoped for, is ever attendant upon worthy effort. Why even more has not been accomplished by Negro musicians in the development of their own music will appear from a study of the following facts: 1. General indifference, amounting almost to contempt for things of native origin, and a slavish admiration on the part of American composers, critics, and, to some extent, publishers, for European ideals in music and art 2. Lack of literary masterpieces of Negro themes, which as librettos or programs would be sources of inspiration for great idomatic musical works. 3. Lack of proper musical and academic training among Negro composers. 4. Lack of time for racial study and composition on the part of Negro composers. Only a moment is necessary for the discussion of these four impediments. Regarding the first I quote from a treatise on music history for students by a professor in one of our leading American colleges, a college whose conservatory department ranks second to none, and which ought therefore to lead one to expect an extremely progressive point of view "From a world-historic point of view, it cannot be maintained that American composition has advanced the development of the art, enlarged its field of expression, or propounded new problems. There is no native music; there are no national traditions on which to build." And also from a society of American intellectuals devoted to the dissemination of educational literature comes the following "From this standpoint one is inclined to contend that neither the Negro melodies nor the Indian melodies, which seem to have most impressed Dvorkar in his musical researches in this country and which have been cited as the possible basis of a national school of music have any significance what- ever, or in any degree reflect national feelings or characteristics." While it must be admitted as true that American composition so far has not materially advanced the art of music, the reason is not because there is nothing indigenous on which to build, but because the great store of native assets which might be so used has been ignored by American musical architects. Furthermore, if Dvorak, Busoni, Coleridge-Taylor, and Laparra, all foreigners, could discover in America, after only a few months' sojourn, enough native material for a symphony, a piano concerto, an oratorio, a great quantity of salon music, and an opera, it is rather safe to conclude that if American composers themselves have not found here at home inspiration for similar works, defective eyesight rather than the lack of well-springs from which to draw must be to blame. And further, if the Indian and Negro songs do not of themselves express national feelings and characteristics, it still remains true that the race question in America is a national issue, having national interests and national effects. The second point needs no discussion, not even the great Dunbar having left anything which might serve this purpose. The significance of the third becomes apparent when it is remembered that, so far as the writer has been able to find out, the schooling of no Negro musician has resulted in any higher degree than that of Bachelor of Music. The foundation for the fourth item is the fact that, omitting one instance which is very exceptional, even in the case of those Negroes who seem to have attained the greatest success, composition is a "side issue," done between classes in school or after hours of work in some other profession or trade by means of which a real living can be made. In the development and conservation of her physical resources, America has spent millions of Government money, but almost all that has been done towards the establishing of a national American school of art or music has been through the personal efforts of students and philanthropists. Recently an Indian boy who has no money came to me after one of my sight-singing classes and asked for lessons in harmony. He knows that the study of harmony forms no part of our school course; he came because he has caught the spirit of race and wishes to learn to express properly the music of his people. I sincerely trust that off-hours will find us working together. Among the large number of Hampton students there are always some who, being endowed with pronounced natural ability, would make excellent musicians and could be trained to become strong factors in the preservation and development of race idioms. Many have earnestly expressed themselves as being ambitious in this direction but are held back by lack of funds or other circumstances which they cannot control. Such conditions among students are probably to be found in all Negro and Indian schools Could a national American philanthropy serve a worthier purpose than the special education to the highest possible point of these native-born Americans, to the end that folk traditions, which are rapidly passing away, may be saved by those who know them best, that the backward races in this country may be greatly encouraged through the attainments of their individual members, and that through a great national enterprise, true servants may be crested to the great cause of a real American art? - The Southern Workman THE C. V. B. A. FORUM. (By Frank B. Williams) The C V B A is taking on new life. Perplexing problems and the gravity of the situation occasioned mostly by the world war have started some of us to thinking. The coloured thespian is not tardy in discerning what a terrible crisis we are going through and is on the alert. From time to time a few of us reclaim our accustomed pastimes in the clubrooms to try to discuss intelligently some common issues and to tellly affect our national and individual welfare, being, as we are, loyal Americans and "a part of some great plan." Not interesting have these discussions (not "arguments") become, although usually conducted in conversational style, that we are wont to speak of such as the "C V B A. Forum." Bert Williams was once accused of reading Emerson's Essays. Why marvel at that? Mr. Williams is not a birdof-foot, but an able and accomplished artist. He reads for mental, moral and spiritual development, and it may be of interest to you to know that there are more than "three hundred other brave Romans" who would do the same thing for intellectual improvement, although stars of not so great magnitude. Religion, economics, sociology and everything concomitant with great issues furnish us here with excellent food for serious thought and reflection. Recently the question as to the future of the Negro in the theatricals was brought up. Various views were expressed, but finally the consensus of opinion was to the effect that efficiency would, and necessarily be the means to usher us, as artists, into the recognition we crave. Our aim is to encourage our singers to tune their throats to a new song, our dancers to introduce some new steps in the "poetry of motion" and our comedians to "cut out the comedy" that does not savor of sense, and, in a word, to fist-selves to meet the exigencies of the hour and thus prove ourselves worthy of a place in the magnificent march of progress. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. (By Bob Slater) Howard and Craddock left Sunday for Atlantic City. Winfred and Rucker are at Loew's American. Next week in Baltimore. Moss and Fry are playing in Syracuse this week. The Four Jazz Girls are winning ap- plause at the Lincoln Theatre. Tabor and Green have finished their season and will leave this week for Chicago to spend their vacation. Glenn and Jenkins have finished their season—and are making arrangements to spend their vacation in Charleston, S.C. The vaudeville season has about come to a close. There are more idle acts this week than any time since the seas- on opened last fall. Saparo and Lemonier are back in town and report that their four months' engagement down East was a big success. They have been called in to play some time around New York. Black Karl, well-known magician and theatrical man, is back from an enjoyable trip West. While away he visited his mother at Topeka, Kas, and saw friends in Kansas City, Mo., and Chicago. James F. Jenkins of Pittsburgh, brother of J. Wesley Jenkins, died Thursday, July 4, at the latter's home in Sheepshead Bay, L. I. Funeral services were held Sunday, July 7, and the remains were interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. WOMAN IN THE CASE" Next week the startling drama, "The Woman in the Case," will be played by the Lafayette Stock Company. "The Woman in the Case" is considered one of the strongest plays from the pen of the late Clyde Fitch; it ranks with his greatest successes, "The Climbers," "The Truth" and "The Girl with the Green Eyes." No American dramatist ever wrote better dramas sitirizing society and with the strength and action and humor than did this brilliant man, who was a native of Hartford. Though melodramatic in spots, "The Woman in the Case" carries a very interesting and possible story. It revolves about the idolatous love of a bride, Margaret Rolfe, for her husband, Julian Rolfe, who incurs the hatred of Claire Forster for his successful efforts in preventing his chum from marrying an adventures. The chum commits suicide. Circumstances, aided by the scheming of "The Woman in the Case," causes the arrest of Rolfe on a charge of murder. The Forster woman is determined that he shall die for his part in the defeat of her plans. Rolfe's young wife is equal to the situation; she rents a flat in the same house as "The Woman," worms her way into her confidence, and wrings from her the true story of her lover's death. There are witnesses concealed in an adjoining room. The bride almost chokes her tormenter to death in the great supper scene, wherein Margaret enacts the role of a woman of the town to place herself seemingly on a level with Claire. Rolfe has been previously arrested for the murder, and it is upon this evidence that he is freed. JOSEPH C. DOUGLASS AT SALEM M. E. CHURCH Those who attended the concert at the Salem M. R. Church Monday evening in which Prof Joseph C Douglass, the Negro violinist, was featured as the principal number, had an opportunity to hear a most gifted artist. He is one of the few great musicians of the race Joseph Douglass is no stranger to the musical life of America, and his playing last Monday evening gave you the impression of a finished artist. He has the first requisite of the musician, a soul, and he makes you feel that soul in his playing, which is done with a naturalness and unconsciousness which are decided carmarks of the genius. He knows his violin. Prof. Douglass opened his program with "Meditation" from Massonet; "Plerrort Sonerade" from Randegger, and "Value Bluette" from Auer. Each of these numbers gave him opportunity to show discrimination of interpretation, and the ability of an art MONSTER .BENEFIT.

He offered as his last number selections from Kriesler in all of which he showed a finese that was both inspiring and refreshing to the audience. The concert was under the direction of J. Rosamond Johnson, the accompanist of the evening, whose musicianship in this direction was pronounced, and who contributed largely to the musical success of the evening. His work as the director of the Musical School Settlement was finely brought out in the singing of a quartet from the settlement. Mrs. C. B. Cullen, a singer who ought to appear more often in public, and who has a soulful voice; Junius Williams, the well-known bass singer; Mr. Fernandez, whose selections in Italian were well done, and two readers were the other numbers on the program. The concert introduced to the community Prof. Douglass, who has been secured by Mrs. Johnson as the head of the violin department of the Musical School Settlement for Colored People. His coming to this city will mean much to its musical tone and uplift. Prof. Douglass is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music and for many years was head of the violin department of Howard University, Washington, D. C., where he has long been linked with the musical and educational life of the city. The concert was given as a testimonial to the Rev. Dr. F. A. Cullen, pastor of the church. PAGEANT AT HAMPTON. HAMPTON, Va.—Two thousand persons witnessed the Independence Day pageant, "Democracy Defended," which was presented at Hampton Institute on the evening of the Fourth of July, under the direction of Mrs W. T. B. Williams, who is chairman of the Committee on Music of the National Association of Colored Women. The program included the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner" followed by a Democracy Challenged by Autocracy." Democracy Defended" and "Democracy Defended by the American People at Home." Music was furnished by the Hampton Institute Band and by a chorus of Hampton Institute students and summer school students, under the direction of R. Nathaniel Dett of Hampton Institute.

Hot Springs, Va.—On July, the Homestead Storm allowed to White Sulphur, W. Va. in battle with the boys of the West for the odd game of the series, both teams having won two games each. Geo Gardner, the pitching wonder of the West, was sent in by Capt. Gilliam of the Greenbriers to beat the boys from Hot Springs and pitched a great game. Geo Henderson, one of the best right handers in this part of the state, was Manager Carra' choice from the Homestead pitching staff and was in rare form, pitching one of the best games ever witnessed on the local grounds, allowing but two singles, giving one free pass and striking out ten men. "Rob" Powell was on the receiving end for the Glants and caught a great game. In the seventh inning Manager Carr, the first man up, connected with one of Gardner's fast lashouts for a double to deep left field, and a moment later stole third. With two down and things looking gloomy for the Glants, for up to nine innings they had to jump over the plate, the little leader of the Glants, wishing to save his team from a shut-out, made a dash for home on the hit and run stall and brought in the only run of the game for his team.

To #million@miller.com This is the season when ambitious young men and women are looking around in quest of a higher school or college in which to continue their education. The operation of our educational fabric is apt to be seriously interrupted on account of world-wide war conditions, which appeal to the patriotic emotions of every right-minded American youth. P. B. Woodrow Wilson powerfully appeals to American youth to continue their educational preparation on the most extensive scale as a means of more efficiently helping to win the war. The Hon. P. B. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, urgently seconds the President's appeal. At this time it is particularly important that colored youth should utilize every available educational opportunity. The requirements of the war are opening up a wide area of skill pursuits, from art to science, from crafted There is but one standard of efficiency by which all applicants must be measured who seek to render efficient service on a high level. While our chief energies are now focused upon the winning of the world war for freedom and equality, yet it is easy to project our vision to the consideration of coniditions after the end of this titanic struggle. Millions of men of the heat brawn and brain that the human race produces will have been destroyed by the harsh烈 hardhole loss to civilization the world will require the highest development and education on the part of every individual working on the highest level of his powers. There will be little time or disposition to stop to inquire of the winning participant in the world's work, "Of what complexion is he?" Great will be the condemnation of any individual who fails to prepare himself for such tremendous responsibilities both during and after the war. The need for education and efficient leadership of the colored race was never so imperative as now. Loud is the call for qualified men in the higher arts and crafts, in specialized scientific pursuits, in intellectual stimulation of the masses, in wise guidance and control, in social and peelation, in work of moral and ameliorative forms in spiritual outlook and aspiration. Happy indeed is the lot of those whose privilege it is to prepare to enter the vineyard of humanity, which promises so abundant a harvest. I am therefore writing this letter to urge every youth under whose eyes it may fall to continue his education enthusiastically; utilize your increased earning opportunity to defray your scholastic expenses for the coming year; select wisely the college, university, or professional school, where you will prosecute and complete your education. I am not writing this letter in the interest of any particular institution, but the basis of my appeal is as broad as the underlying opportunity and need. I do not longer expect to divorce thought and living as the world once attempted to do. The thought is married to the thing, and civilization is born. It requires no oracular reading of the signs of the times to forecast future demands. The thinker must work and the worker must think.
